Cycling Oriented Puppet Squad
Puppets & Props Nights
Interested in volunteering with Cyclops and Clay & Paper Theatre? We have begun the process of building the giant puppets for our upcoming summer show: you too can help out! We are building armatures right now and pretty soon we’ll need help with a whole lot of paper mache!
Please contact us at 416 708 3332 or clayandpaper@sympatico.ca to get involved.
Check out this page for updates on our process – finally, a chance to see behind the veil! These things don’t just magically appear, but rather are produced by a lot of hard work by a lot of good people.
